Re: Helmets

Some quick facts about SMK Helmets for those who wanted to know more about the brand.

SMK is the first Indian brand to provide Pinlock as standard on Pinlock capable visors and respective models in the budget category of around 5000 Rupees.

SMK Helmets has emerged as India’s leading helmet brand that sets benchmarks in the industry. SMK helmets are designed and developed in Europe by the best, expert designers, before being produced by Studds, a company based in Delhi, India that produces almost four million helmets annually, destined for markets across the world.

Here's a small video that shows how it's done inside a Studds factory.

Yes, from the looks description and reviews it has only a single sized with with varying degrees of padding. I personally think compact helmet is much stronger than a bigger shell (not that bigger shells are weak in any way). One advantage of a having smaller shell is most heads are a medium to large size which is a boon when it comes to getting that snug fit. Drawback is padding, padding gets thin over time, after repeated wear and tear, if padding is as easily available as the helmet themselves, should serve the purpose really well. Do, keep your long term reviews posted in here.

Its a good helmet, but what will define a good value will be price.
How much are you getting it for?

In my humble opinion, its not a 34K worth helmet. It is available mostly on Deals in US around 200-250$ mark.
I have a Bell Vortex, and the RS-1 is a level above the vortex. I got the vortex from US for 100$.

If you really want this helmet, wait for discounts at High Note. I know a person who has bought RS-1 from high note at around 20K.
You can get some seriously good lids in 34K.

Not really recommended per se. Actually certain solvents do hamper the structural composition, meaning some chemicals react with polycarbonate shells and make them softer than they are used to, which in turn reduces the impact absorption capability of the shell. The paints used on a good motorcycle helmet is as important as the styrofoam itself. So, unless you don't know what paint that you're gonna be using or not sure what the end result would be, I would suggest a no.
